SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 580,082, dated April 6,1897.

A li tio filed November 17, 1896. Serialll'o. 612,441. (No model.)

In all 10. mm it 712031] concern/.

Be it known that I, EMANUEL ETTENHEIMER, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of New York, in the State of New York,have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Pails, of whichthe following is a specification.

My improved pail is mainly of sheet metal. I fortify it with thickermetal peculiarly arranged, and the improvement contributes to thestrength and durability of the construction.

The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification andrepresent what I con- I 5 sider the best means of carrying out theinvention.

Figure 1 is a general perspective View, and Fig. 2 a horizontal sectionat the mid-height. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section on the line 3 3in Fig. 2, but with the bail raised. Fig. is a corresponding centralvertical section at right angles to that in Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is abottom view. Fig. 6 is a bottom view showing a modification.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts 111 all thefigures where they appear.

A is the sheet-iron or low steel, which forms the main portion of thebody.

0 B is the bottom, having concentric corrugations to stiffen andstrengthen it and united to the'lower edge of the body by folding in along-approved manner. Strips of thickeriron D D extend up and down thedepth of the 5 body, hook under the bottom rim, and extend across underthe bottom, as indicated by D*, the bands being accurately formed in thecorrect position in advance by hand or by machinery and applied afterthe sheet metal has 40 been shaped and properly held in place. There maybe any number of these strengthening-strips D, extending up and down onthe outer surface of the pail with the hooks D in each at the requiredpoints and the portions 5 D crossing each other near the center of thebottom. I have shown four.

The sheet metal A of the sides of the pail may be made in a number ofseparate pieces, so as to utilize portions which are left as waste fromother manufactures. I have shown it as formed of two pieces joined at aa by rivets O. The joints thus formed extend up and down the body on twoopposite sides, and two of the strips D are located to coincidetherewith. The rivets O extend through two thick- 5 5 nesses of thesheet metal A at each joint a and also through the adjacent strip D andconfine the three parts firmly. The upper ends of the reinforcing-stripsD, connecting with these joints a, are offset outward, as shown at D andthence extended upward and rounded, as indicated at D and punched, asindicated by d, to receive the loop E of the bail-wire E.

The upper edge A of. the body is formed by curling or rolling. The curlincloses a stiffening wire F, making it substantial. The olfset D nearthe upper end of each strip D abuts against the under side of the curlA. The rivets O, which join the edges of the sheet metal A along thelines a, serve also to firmly attach the adjacent strips D.

The iron strips D other than those which are extended outward and upwardto form ears simply abut their upper ends against the under side of thecurl or roll A.

Modifications may be made without departing from the principle orsacrificing the ad vantages of the invention.

I have in my experiments made the whole of black iron or low steel andcoated the complete pail with zinc by the dipping process, technicallyknown as galvanizing. I prefer to do this for the reason, among others,that the zinc fills the small spaces under the strips and strengthensthe construction. The metal may be previously galvanized. I can make thecrossportions D of the strengthening-strips distinct from the portions Dand D. Fig. 6 shows such a construction.

I claim as my invention 1. In ametal pail, the combination with the bodyand bottom presenting a base-flange, of strips extending verticallyalong the body and having hooked portions D, defending, 5

strengthening and clamping the bottom rim, substantially as hereinspecified.

2. In ametal pail, the combination with the body and bottom presenting abase-flange, of strips extending vertically along the body and havinghooked portions D, clamping the bottom rim, the bottom being reinforcedby cross-bars D, substantially as herein specifled.

8. In a metal pail, the combination with the bottom, of the body havingthe curl A at the top, arfd presenting the base-rim, strips extendingvertically along the body having a bearing against the curl A and havinglower hooked portions D, clamping the bottom rim, substantially asherein specified.

4:. In a metal pailthe combination with the bottom, of the bodypresenting the base-rim, strips extending vertically along the bodyabove the same and perforated to constitute bail-ears, and having lowerhooked portions D clamping the bottom rim, substantially as hereinspecified.
